My husband pointed out this sky the other evening. Having just seen the movie 300, it gave me the same type of feeling as the sky in parts of the movie. Figured I’d share it. For those that don’t mind violence, 300 is a rockin’ & visually compelling movie, if you’re into creative stuff like…

Hey Girlfriend, Count me in for holiday pictures. The weekend works best for me now that we are back to school. Let me know. Love YaReplyCancel

Welcome to Our Foyer. Remember, those that have full access can see the floorplan. The porch right now needs to be cleaned up, we have wood and stuff out there so I will spare you the porch (just for now) 😉 We enter through, what most would call a foyer! Not sure what many others…

Im in the process of picking paint colors now and I have no freaking clue. Of course I have to give our contractor the paint selections in a few weeks and Im no where near to having decided a single room. How did your selection process go?ReplyCancel

For example, the foyer was one of the first rooms we painted. I wasn’t particularly ready to be risky right away having no idea how I was going to decorate. I then checked the Pottery Barn colors (I had purchased the swatch book) and just blindly picked out a color that I <em>cannot even remember</em>. Hated it. Immediately decided to go with something bold and went for it.

You will see in future posts, I wasn’t so bold in other rooms and again, was forced to go bold. It’s a pattern, really, and an extreme waste of paint but I have no other way of knowing how it’s going to look unless I live with it. I think that has to be one of the single most difficult decisions on decorating.

Ever since I went RED though, I have loved every square inch of that room. It’s so boudoir looking. All I need is a few funkier pieces (maybe a leather wingback? maybe a crystal sconce as opposed to the artwork on either side of the room) and I’ll have a theme room to shoot out of. Of course, I’ll have some shots around as well ;-).

I just have a hard time committing to hanging anything unless I get that “it’s right” feeling, ya know?

All of this being said, I don’t envy your decision. If it were my decision – I would tell them to either paint all white or just prime and let me move in, live there, and pick one by one (knowing my speed of color selection, white would be the smarter move, methinks, at least for me).

You have a great sense of style, that’s why I fell in love with your previous house and had to have it. You have done wonders with your new house keep up the good work, To Jimmy and Laura you both deserve a hand of applause.ReplyCancel

I wish I could live there first before deciding paint colors but wont work for us for many reasons but the most important being Mr. Limestone won’t let me :and I dont do ladders. So Im kind of stuck. To make matters worse, the old owners painted the place almost entirely in this minty green color so no matter what samples patches I put up, every color looks different with the mint green everywhere.

So you dont like the PB colors huh? I was kind of relying on them for my inspiration. 🙂ReplyCancel

I’m gonna jump around a bit in the interest of getting some photos up. I’ll be finished with the foyer post soon (wanted to do a walk through but those that have full farm access will be able to refer to the 2nd level floorplan. An interesting tidbit of info is that this room was…
